Not upset. You are welcome to voice your opinion. Simply saying that C8 is widely available and usually no ADM (unless Z06). DH is close in price already without even factoring in ADM. And yes I can by a 1LT Vette lol.
I mean, it's no secret that the C8 and M4 are better options when compared that way. I came from a C8 Corvette, to my current 24 GT. I KNEW that I was gonna get less performance, but I wanted to get into a car that is more fun to drive. I found that since I wanted to get a manual, I didn't think twice about. I've ran mustangs in my C8, and I smoked them off the line and sometimes from a roll. But I learned that I still was not having as much fun, so I sold it and ordered my GT. Glad I did, because with some money...you can be faster. When it comes to the DH, I've always said it was a waste of money, and totally not worth it. Those who ordered a GT with a performance pack, pretty much have a DH. The DH is nice, but really it's just about bragging rights when I see people talking about how it's so much better than a GT. In the end, it's gonna come down to what you want to feel, when you drive. I can say, I am happier with my GT over my C8, by a long shot. This is true, only because it's a manual. Oh yeah, let's not forget the Camaro ZL1...totally worth it over the DH.
The no manual option is the only reason I haven't made a decision yet.
I would tend to agree, however, for those that actually do track the cars, the added coolers are nice to have. Not that you can't track a GT, of course (I tracked my 2015 mutiple times).
Well said and I’m in complete agreement with you. I wanted an S650 badly but wanted it in my own Spec. Didn’t want to order cause it was a want and not a need plus my S550 was plenty enough for me. In the end, I found an S650 that checked 5 out of the 7 req’s for the Spec that I wanted and I’m ok with that. The DH just seemed drummed up for that extra $$ unless you’re doing the Handling Pkg and even then, if you aren’t gonna track it you’re just wasting $$$. To each his own but I’m now a FULL TIME MUSTANG GT fanatic and won’t stray from them. And I’ve had 3 Porsche’s in my time and was at a fork in the road for a 911 Carrera. Chose the Mustang GT instead and haven’t regretted it one time.
If you have a specific level of performance, I can't help you. If you are looking for the most fun you will not beat the DH clutch, V8, exhaust, and Tremec IMO. Plus the DH arguable handles better than the M4.
For me, I got to have both in equal doses, but I hear ya.
I chose the DH over the 911 as well. I chose dh over the gt just because of the upgrades to the engine and the HP but the the GT is a fantastic car obviously.
I think you have been grossly misinformed about the DH vs GT and much of it comes down to one word... TREMEC!
Give in to the Dark side... you know you want too.
In an ideal world I would have all three. But I need a big pay raise for thatGive in to the Dark side... you know you want too.
I have not been misinformed, that's my opinion. If you love it, cool...but that is my take on the DH. Your comment is mostly based on the fact that you bought the DH, which is cool. But be open to reality, MOST of, I mean nearly 99% of people buy the DH are NOT gonna use as a track car. Simply put. But, in the end...I respect your take on it...
The tremec alone is enough for most to upgrade to the DH. I haven't driven the latest MT-82 my last one was a 2015 version.
Opinions are not relevant here. The fact is the DH is a better car. To say the GT PP1 is equivalent to a DH is like saying the DH is equivalent a DH w/HP... they're not... and it would be delusional to claim so. Furthermore, to say that DH purchasers are braggards is like saying GT purchasers are unfortunate and neither can be assumed.
